PS1 - All living and nonliving things are composed of matter having characteristics [properties] that distinguish one substance from
another.
2a. Students demonstrate an understanding of characteristics [properties] of matter by recognizing that different substances have properties, which allow them to be identified regardless of the size of the sample.
2b. classifying and comparing substances using characteristics [properties] (e.g. solid,liquid,gas)
National Standards:
NS.5-8.2 Physical Science
As a result of their activities in grades 5-8, all students should develop an understanding
Properties and changes of properties in matter
Context of Lesson:
Duration: 1 period/50 min
Students will take a chapter test on States of Matter and test will be used to assess students learning.
Opportunities to Learn:
Depth of Knowledge:
Levels 1-3. Students will have to recall what they have learned from the chapter. Students will have to apply what they have learned to be used as evidence that they understand the concepts that were taught in this section. During the test, students will have to classify,predict,identify,and compare the different states of matter.
Prerequisite Knowledge:
States of Matter Unit
Plans for Differentiating Instruction:
Different assessment if needed, maybe a group/individual project on States of Matter or a research paper on a State of the student’s choice.
Include an illustration of a phase change in the test. Let students make up a question that was not asked on the test and answer it themselves with a written response. Students may have to describe the procedure of one experiment that they took part in during the unit.
Accommodations and modifications:
Scribe for students who need to type responses. Quiet room for students who are easily distracted. Extended time for test completion for students who need it. Tests read aloud or verbal tests can be offered if needed. Students who cannot write will be given oral exam.
Environmental factors:
Classroom free from pressure. Students arranged with desks apart in rows. Comfortable climate and lighting.
Materials:
Unit test
Objectives:
Students will be assessed by a unit test on States of Matter
Instruction:
Opening:
Teacher tells students they will be taking the final test for the unit on States of Matter.
Asks if anyone has any last minute questions or need anything clarified.
Engagement:
Test handed out.
Closure:
If time is left the chapter test will be reviewed in class.
